• Configurable Log Levels: Support for standard log levels (debug, info, warning, error, critical)
• File Logging: Option to log messages to both console and file simultaneously
• Convenience Functions: Global logging functions for quick access without creating logger instances
• Dictionary Logging: Special method to log dictionary data in a structured format

Implementation Details

• Created a modular logging system with separate files for different functionalities
• Added comprehensive unit tests for all logging features
• Updated README with usage examples and documentation
• Integrated logging into the core ABCParse class

Code Structure

• _abc_logger.py: Core logger implementation with robust error handling
